Mickey Haller: Book 3
This is another courtroom thriller by Michael Connelly. In this, Haller temporarily switches to the prosecution. He is teamed with his first wife and mother of his daughter, who is a first rate prosecutor and now sits second chair for political reasons. He is also teamed with Harry Bosch as his investigator.
Good story of a man who gets a "reversal" based on DNA evidence.
Longtime defense attorney Mickey Haller is recruited to change stripes and prosecute the high-profile retrial of a brutal child murder. After 24 years in prison, convicted killer Jason Jessup has been exonerated by new DNA evidence. Haller is convinced Jessup is guilty, and he takes the case on the condition that he gets to choose his team: his second chair is his first wife, seasoned prosecutor nicknamed Maggie McFierce, and his investigator, LAPD Detective Harry Bosch. Together, Bosch, McPhereson, and Haller set off on a case fraught with political and personal danger. Opposing them is Jessup, now out on bail, a defense attorney, Clever Clive, who excels at manipulating the media, and a runaway eyewitness reluctant to testify after so many years. With the odds and the evidence against them, Bosch and Haller must nail a sadistic killer once and for all. If Bosch is sure of anything, it is that Jason Jessup plans to kill again.
